Last year, Detroit was down 2-3 to New Jersey, the defending Eastern Conference champs, tore through the Nets. In this year's conference finals, the Pistons faced the same situation against the Heat and won the last two games in Miami.

ummm, they don't switch to the 2-3-2 format until the NBA finals??? They lost game 5 in Miami, won game 6 in Detroit and then won game 7 in Miami.
